How do I reference a Django settings variable in my models.py?
Try with this: from django.conf import settings
then
settings.VARIABLE
to access that variable.
VARIABLE should be in capital letter. It will not work otherwise.
from django.conf import settings
PRIVATE_DIR = getattr(settings, "PRIVATE_DIR", None)
Where it says None
, you will put a default value incase the variable isn't defined in settings.
